Market Growth Factors

The China music streaming market has largely been driven by consumer adoption of smartphones. The common availability of low-cost smartphones and internet connections has enabled music streaming services to reach a wider swath of the population and to allow consumers access to music anytime and anywhere. Additionally, 4G networks and the development of 5G networks with high processing capacity, which allow for a better streaming experience, have also driven the quality and quantity of videos streamed online. It is predicted that 5G will reach an 88% penetration rate and 1.29 billion unique mobile users in China by 2030.

Planned partnerships with content creators and artists are another important growth driver. Streaming platforms are increasingly partnering with indie artists, major record labels and entertainment companies to drive exclusive content and experiences. These partnerships provide a constant source of fresher and more diverse content, such as music exclusives and concert live streams, focusing on regional artists and culturally relevant music that both improves the platform and fosters user loyalty.

The music industry is changing due to technology, particularly AI and ML techniques. AI algorithms analyze user data (such as listening habits, preferences, and demographic data) to recommend tracks and create relevant playlists. The use of AI in music has potential advantages, including music categorization, improved music search capabilities, and the creation of compositions by AI. As such, the technology creates customized listening experiences that help increase customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention as platforms seek to maintain a competitive edge in a changing market.
